It’s Lemmy. It’s Mastodon. It’s all of the fediverse in the palm of your hand. One account that just does everything. It’s based on kbin but forked because of Kbin’s inability to allow other developers to help the project.

The flagship instances here on Mbin is kbin.melroy.org. It’s the home of lead dev melroy@kbin.melroy.dev himself! If you would but give mbin a chance I think you’d find it pleasing to use aesthetically and functionally.

Come on over!

      I’ve compiled lemmy a few times - it’s fairly straightforward. I’ve tried to compile kbin before, but gave up bored and pissed off with the instructions - they seem endless, and like a big list of ‘edit this file’ (with no indication for whether you’re adding or updating info), ‘now edit this file’, ‘now go back and edit the first file again’. I know mbin isn’t kbin, but the instructions are the same.

      I was trying because someone from there subscribed to a community I made just using ActivityPub, but nothing I’ve sent there has actually appeared. If you send the wrong stuff to lemmy, it errors. It’s not always the most useful message, but it’s at least a ‘400 Bad Request’, not the ‘200 OK {}’ you get back from kbin. What does it want? Does it not like ‘Create/Page’? Is there a problem with the content? I don’t know, because I can’t [be bothered to] compile it, and the tech specs for these 'bins lead to a 404.
